ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a process for making a unitary package which comprises a load that has a band formed of plural layers of a stretched material wrapped around it. Basically the process comprises the steps of: placing a load on a support; locating a rolled-up sheet of stretchable material on dispenser means adjacent to the support; withdrawing a leading edge of the material from the dispenser means and holding that leading edge against the load; initiating substantially unrestricted relative movement between the support and dispenser means to cause a sufficient amount of the material to overwrap at least a part of the load; subsequently continuing the relative movement but restricting it such that the material will then be stretched and causing a sufficient amount of the stretched material to be dispensed from the dispenser means to provide a band comprising plural layers of the material around the load; and fastening the trailing edge of the dispensed stretched material to at least one of the previously dispensed band-forming layers. The present invention is also directed toward a product that is produced by this process and to certain apparatus which can be utilized to perform this process.
